SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,952, dated February 21, 1882,

Application filed January 16, 1882.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDMAN STERNHEIM- ER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ladies Waist-Belts, of which the following is a specilication.

This invention relates to improvements in ladies7 waist-belts, whereby the same can be manufactured quickly and cheaply and with very little stitching; and the invention consists of a waist-belt the body of which is out out at one end, so as to form tongues, which are inserted into similar openin gs at the other end of the belt and secured to buckles applied to the folded back tongues of the latteropenings.

In the accompanying drawings, Fignrel represents a perspective view of my improved -rated tongues c. These tongues are passed through openings b of about the same width (No model.)

as the tongues', said openings being Varranged at the other end of the belt A. The openings b are obtained by cutting ont tongues b in the same manner as the tongues a are cutout, the tongues b being folded back, passed through buckles d, and then applied by rivets, or in any other suitable manner. The loops d of the buckles are stitched to the folded-back tongues b in any approved manner. closed, looks neat, and can be manufactured cheaply, as no stitch-ing and less stock than usual are required.

Having thus described my invention,I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The belt, when 'A `ladys waist-belt which is provided at one end with tongues out from the bodyof the belt and at the other end with tongues cut similarly from the body of the belt, the lasttougues being foldedback and adapted to carry the buckles, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
